Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of water sports competitions, and in particular to a referee boat. Background Technology
[0002] Dragon boat racing is one of the important cultural customs of the Dragon Boat Festival in China. It is a common activity in southern China and is carried out on water. In northern cities near rivers and lakes, there is also the custom of dragon boat racing, but it is mostly in the form of land dragon boat racing or dragon boat dancing. In the cold winter, there are also ice dragon boat activities.
[0003] An existing Chinese patent (publication number: CN214325324U) mentions a water sports command pontoon boat that adopts a combination structure of platform, pontoon, water-cutting block, mounting block, mounting plate, mounting shaft, propeller or rudder, guardrail, guardrail handrail, hull, windshield, bridge, command platform, electric retractable seat, referee's seat, swivel chair, display screen, camera, and high-volume speaker. This achieves a simple structure, scientific and reasonable design, light weight, small size, high stability of aluminum alloy welded structure, complete functions, low maintenance cost, and wide application. The pontoon is a closed cylinder or elliptical column, with an arc-shaped, upward-curved, axe-shaped or triangular cone-shaped water-cutting block at the front end. The bottom surface may or may not have a triangular axe-shaped or arc-shaped axe-shaped water-cutting block structure, which has good water-cutting performance and operational stability, and can effectively improve speed and prevent capsizing.
[0004] During water sports competitions, the referees need to follow the competing boats. The referees sit in the referee's box, but in some competitions, in order to get a better view, the referees will choose to stand on the platform, holding onto the hull while recording and making judgments. When moving quickly on the water, the impact of the buoys with the water surface may cause significant swaying. When the hull is swaying, there may be safety hazards for the referees who are standing and observing. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this application is to address the issue raised in the background art where referees, in order to obtain a better field of vision, choose to stand on a platform, holding onto the hull while recording and adjudicating. When moving rapidly on the water, the impact of the buoys with the water surface may cause significant swaying, posing a safety hazard to the referees who are standing and observing. This application provides a referee boat.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application specifically adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A referee boat includes a first float, a second float disposed on one side of the first float, a hull fixed between the first float and the second float, a driver's seat mounted on the hull, a protective mechanism disposed on one side of the driver's seat, a folding support mechanism disposed on the protective mechanism, and a propeller mounted on the hull.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the referee stands on the hull, the protective mechanism provides auxiliary support for the referee's body, allowing the referee to maintain stability while the referee boat is moving. During the halftime break of the competition, the folding support mechanism on the protective mechanism can be opened, and the referee can sit on the folding support mechanism to take a short rest. This provides support for the standing referee, reducing the possibility of losing balance and falling while the referee boat is moving, and reducing the possibility that the referee will need to hold onto the hull due to the swaying of the referee boat, thus preventing the timely recording of information.
[0009] Furthermore, the protective mechanism includes a support base fixed to the hull, two symmetrical support brackets are provided on the support base, a lifting assembly is provided between the two support brackets and the support base, an adjustment assembly is provided between the lifting assembly and the two support brackets, a restraint strap is provided between the two support brackets, one end of the restraint strap is fixedly connected to one of the support brackets, the other end of the restraint strap passes through the other support bracket, and Velcro is fixed on the restraint strap.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting component is used to move the two support supports to the waist position of the referee, the adjustment component is used to adjust the distance between the two support supports, and then the referee's waist is leaned against the support supports. Then, the restraint strap between the two support supports is used to restrain the referee's body. This can help stabilize the referee's body during the movement of the referee boat and reduce the possibility of the referee losing his balance and falling during the movement of the referee boat.
[0011] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a lifting block slidably connected to a support base, a lifting threaded rod threadedly connected to the lifting block, a support block rotatably connected to the end of the lifting threaded rod away from the lifting block, the support block being fixedly connected to the support base, a bevel gear one being fixedly fixed to the end of the lifting threaded rod away from the lifting block, a bevel gear two being meshed with the bevel gear one, a lifting motor being fixedly fixed to the hull, and the output end of the lifting motor being fixedly connected to the bevel gear two.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lifting threaded rod rotates, the lifting block, which is threadedly connected to the lifting threaded rod, moves up and down under the restriction of the support seat. The lifting block drives the two support supports to move up and down, thereby making it easy to adjust the height of the two support supports and making it convenient for people of different heights to use.
[0013] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes two threaded blocks symmetrically slidably connected to the lifting block, a bidirectional threaded rod is provided between the two threaded blocks, the bidirectional threaded rod passes through the two threaded blocks and is threadedly connected to the threaded blocks, an adjustment motor is provided on the lifting block, the output end of the adjustment motor is fixedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod, and the two threaded blocks are fixedly connected to the corresponding support brackets.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the bidirectional threaded rod drives two threaded blocks to move away from or towards each other, and then the threaded blocks drive the support bracket to move, so that the two support brackets move away from or towards each other, thereby enabling the support bracket to accommodate people of different body sizes when providing support.
[0015] Furthermore, each of the two support supports is fixed with a support pad, and the support pad has evenly distributed ventilation holes.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the support pad on the support support rests against the referee's waist, and multiple ventilation holes are opened on the support pad, thereby improving the comfort of the support support when providing support.
[0017] Furthermore, the folding support mechanism includes two symmetrically fixed rotating blocks on the support base, a rotating shaft rotatably connecting the two rotating blocks, a support plate fixed on the rotating shaft, and a fixing component provided on the rotating blocks.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the support plate is pulled, and the support plate drives the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft rotates under the support of two rotating blocks. When the support plate rotates to a horizontal position, the fixing component is used to fix the support plate, which makes it convenient for the referee to sit down and rest during the game, and it is easy to put away without affecting the referee's standing.
[0019] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a fixing rod slidably connected to the rotating block, and corresponding fixing holes are provided on both sides of the support plate.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the support plate is moved to a horizontal position, a fixing rod passes through the rotating block and is then inserted into the fixing hole on the support plate. The fixing rod supports the support plate, thereby facilitating the support and lowering of the support plate.
[0021] Furthermore, a support spring is provided on the fixed rod, and both ends of the support spring are fixedly connected to the fixed rod and the rotating block.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the fixing hole of the support plate and the fixing rod are aligned, the fixing rod is released, and the fixing rod enters the fixing hole of the support plate under the pull of the support spring, thereby improving the stability of the fixing rod inserted into the fixing hole of the support plate.
[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects;
[0024] 1. This application, when the referee stands on the hull, utilizes a lifting motor to drive a second bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives a first bevel gear to rotate. The first bevel gear then drives a lifting threaded rod supported by a support block to rotate. As the lifting threaded rod rotates, the lifting block, threadedly connected to it, moves up and down under the constraint of the support seat. This movement of the lifting block causes two support brackets to move up and down, adapting them to the referee's height. An adjusting motor then drives a bidirectional threaded rod to rotate on the lifting block, causing the two threaded blocks to move closer together, bringing the two support brackets against the referee's waist. A restraint strap between the two support brackets then provides support, reducing the possibility of the referee losing their footing and falling while the boat is in motion. It also reduces the likelihood of the referee needing to hold onto the hull due to the boat's movement, thus preventing timely information recording.
[0025] 2. This application allows the restraint straps to be released during halftime of a match, and the support plate to be pulled. The support plate drives the rotating shaft, which rotates under the support of two rotating blocks. When the support plate is rotated to a horizontal position, it is fixed by a fixing rod. The referee can then sit directly on the support plate for a short rest, thus achieving the purpose of making it convenient for the referee to sit down and rest during the match, and also making it easy to fold up without affecting the referee's standing position.

[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 —5 provides further details regarding this application.
[0034] This application discloses a referee boat.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A referee boat includes a first float 1, a second float 2 disposed on one side of the first float 1, a hull 3 fixed between the first float 1 and the second float 2, a driver's seat 4 installed on the hull 3, a protective mechanism 6 disposed on one side of the driver's seat 4, a folding support mechanism 8 disposed on the protective mechanism 6, and a propeller 5 installed on the hull 3. When the referee boat is needed during a competition, the driver first moves to the driver's seat 4 on hull 3, and then the referee moves to hull 3. Because the referee needs a good view from hull 3, they need to stand while working. While on hull 3, the protective mechanism 6 provides auxiliary support to the referee's body, ensuring stability during the boat's movement. During a break in the competition, the folding support mechanism 8 on the protective mechanism 6 can be opened, allowing the referee to sit on it for a short rest. When standing is needed again, the folding support mechanism 8 is folded back into the protective mechanism 6, and the referee continues to receive auxiliary support from the protective mechanism 6 on hull 3. By using the protective mechanism 6 to provide auxiliary support when the referee needs to stand on the moving boat, the referee is supported, reducing the possibility of instability and falls during the boat's movement, and minimizing the possibility of the referee needing to hold onto hull 3 due to boat swaying, thus preventing timely information recording.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The protective mechanism 6 includes a support base 62 fixed to the hull 3. The support base 62 is provided with two symmetrical support brackets 61. A lifting component 64 is provided between the two support brackets 61 and the support base 62. An adjustment component 65 is provided between the lifting component 64 and the two support brackets 61. A restraint strap 63 is provided between the two support brackets 61. One end of the restraint strap 63 is fixedly connected to one of the support brackets 61, and the other end of the restraint strap 63 passes through the other support bracket 61. Velcro is fixed to the restraint strap 63. When the referee stands on the hull 3, the lifting component 64 moves the two support supports 61 to the referee's waist position. Then, according to the referee's body size, the adjustment component 65 adjusts the distance between the two support supports 61. The referee's waist then rests against the support supports 61, and the restraint strap 63 between the two support supports 61 is used to restrain the referee, thus providing auxiliary support for the standing referee. By restraining the referee's waist with the two support supports 61 and the restraint strap 63, the referee's body can be stabilized during the referee boat's movement, reducing the possibility of the referee losing their footing and falling.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The lifting assembly 64 includes a lifting block 641 slidably connected to a support base 62, a lifting threaded rod 642 threadedly connected to the lifting block 641, a support block 643 rotatably connected to the end of the lifting threaded rod 642 away from the lifting block 641, the support block 643 being fixedly connected to the support base 62, a bevel gear 644 fixedly connected to the end of the lifting threaded rod 642 away from the lifting block 641, a bevel gear 645 meshing with the bevel gear 644, a lifting motor 646 fixedly connected to the hull 3, and the output end of the lifting motor 646 being fixedly connected to the bevel gear 645. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the two support supports 61, first start the lifting motor 646. The lifting motor 646 drives the second bevel gear 645 to rotate, the second bevel gear 645 drives the first bevel gear 644 to rotate, and the first bevel gear 644 drives the lifting threaded rod 642 supported by the support block 643 to rotate. When the lifting threaded rod 642 rotates, the lifting block 641, which is threadedly connected to the lifting threaded rod 642, moves up and down under the restriction of the support seat 62. The lifting block 641 drives the two support supports 61 to move up and down. By using the rotation of the lifting threaded rod 642 to adjust the lifting block 641 to move up and down, the height of the two support supports 61 can be easily adjusted, making it convenient for people of different heights to use.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4The adjusting component 65 includes two threaded blocks 651 symmetrically slidably connected to the lifting block 641. A bidirectional threaded rod 652 is provided between the two threaded blocks 651, passing through the two threaded blocks 651 and threadedly connected to them. An adjusting motor is provided on the lifting block 641, and the output end of the adjusting motor is fixedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 652. The two threaded blocks 651 are fixedly connected to their corresponding support brackets 61. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two support brackets 61, the adjusting motor is started, causing the bidirectional threaded rod 652 to rotate on the lifting block 641. The bidirectional threaded rod 652 causes the two threaded blocks 651 to move away from or towards each other. Then, the threaded blocks 651 cause the support brackets 61 to move, moving the two support brackets 61 away from or towards each other. By using the movement of the two threaded blocks 651 on the bidirectional threaded rod 652 to move the two support brackets 61 away from or towards each other, the support brackets 61 can accommodate people of different body sizes when providing support.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 Each of the two support supports 61 is fixed with a support pad 7, and the support pad 7 has evenly distributed ventilation holes. When the referee uses the support support 61 to support his waist, the support pad 7 on the support support 61 rests against the referee's waist. The multiple ventilation holes on the support pad 7 ensure breathability when supporting the referee's waist. By fixing the support pad 7 to the support support 61, the comfort of the support support 61 can be improved when providing support.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The folding support mechanism 8 includes two symmetrically fixed rotating blocks 81 on a support base 62. A rotating shaft 82 is rotatably connected between the two rotating blocks 81, and a support plate 83 is fixed on the rotating shaft 82. A fixing component is provided on the rotating blocks 81. When the referee does not need to stand during the match, the restraint strap 63 is released, and then the support plate 83 is pulled. The support plate 83 drives the rotating shaft 82, which rotates under the support of the two rotating blocks 81. When the support plate 83 is rotated to a horizontal position, the fixing component is used to fix the support plate 83, and the referee can then sit directly on the support plate 83. When the support plate 83 needs to be folded up, the restriction of the fixing component is released, and the support plate 83 hangs down under the action of gravity. Then, the support plate 83 abuts against the support base 62 under the restriction of the rotating shaft 82. By utilizing the support plate 83 to support horizontally under the support of the rotating shaft 82, it is easy to fold up, thus allowing the referee to sit down and rest during the match, and the folding up does not affect the referee's standing.
[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The fixing component includes a fixing rod 84 slidably connected to the rotating block 81, and corresponding fixing holes are provided on both sides of the support plate 83. When the support plate 83 is moved to a horizontal position, the fixing rod 84 passes through the rotating block 81 and is inserted into the fixing hole on the support plate 83, supporting the support plate 83. When the support plate 83 needs to be retracted, the fixing rod 84 is moved, allowing it to slide on the rotating block 81 and disengage from the fixing hole on the support plate 83. Through the cooperation between the fixing rod 84 on the rotating block 81 and the fixing hole on the support plate 83, the support plate 83 can be easily moved and lowered.
[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 A support spring 85 is provided on the fixed rod 84, and both ends of the support spring 85 are fixedly connected to the fixed rod 84 and the rotating block 81. When the support plate 83 needs to be supported, the fixed rod 84 is pulled, and the fixed rod 84 pulls the support spring 85. Then, when the fixing hole of the support plate 83 is aligned with the fixed rod 84, the fixed rod 84 is released, and the fixed rod 84 enters the fixing hole on the support plate 83 under the pull of the support spring 85. By using the support spring 85 to restrict the fixed rod 84, the stability of the fixed rod 84 inserted into the fixing hole on the support plate 83 can be improved.
[0043] Working principle: When the referee boat is needed in a competition, the driver first moves to the driver's seat 4 on hull 3, and then the referee moves to hull 3. Because the referee needs a good view on hull 3, they need to stand while working. When the referee is standing on hull 3, the lifting motor 646 drives the second bevel gear 645 to rotate. The second bevel gear 645 drives the first bevel gear 644 to rotate, and the first bevel gear 644 drives the lifting threaded rod 642 supported by the support block 643 to rotate. When the lifting threaded rod 642 rotates, the lifting block 641, which is threadedly connected to the lifting threaded rod 642, moves up and down under the constraint of the support seat 62. The lifting block 641 drives the two support supports 61 to move up and down, allowing the two support supports 61 to move up and down. The system is designed to adapt to the referee's height. The adjusting motor drives the bidirectional threaded rod 652 to rotate on the lifting block 641. The bidirectional threaded rod 652 causes the two threaded blocks 651 to move closer together, bringing the two support supports 61 against the waist. The restraint strap 63 between the two support supports 61 provides support for the standing referee during the referee boat's movement. During halftime, the restraint strap 63 can be released, and the support plate 83 can be pulled. The support plate 83 drives the rotating shaft 82, which rotates with the support of the two rotating blocks 81. When the support plate 83 is horizontal, it is fixed with the fixing rod 84. The referee can then sit directly on the support plate 83 for a short rest.
